Another World TitleThe Minnesota Masters 80s team won another title at the 2019 SSUSA World Masters Championships last month. Team photo above. ​The team submitted the following players for all tournament honors:Don Carruth - second leading hitter on the team with a .782 batting average. Even had extra base hits despite playing with an injury. Always a team player.Tom Daniel - Hit well and fielded well. Ran as a courtesy runner for other players over 30 times plus running for himself. Doc Agard - one of the leading hitters at .739 batting average. Steady in the field. Was instrumental as middle infielder on many double plays with his strong throw to first base.Bob Lenzmeier - Another one of our strong hitters with a .727 batting average. Handled throws to first base in a way that made them look easy and routine. Best first baseman in the tournament.Earle Anderson - Pitched eight games and only walked four batters. Held opponents to average of eight + runs per game. Batted .500. Best pitcher in the tournament.Lowell Thompson - Leading hitter at .842 batting average - with six walks gave him an .880 on base percentage. Probably best batting stats in tournament.MVPNorm Setnicker - Hands down the best all around player in the tournament. One of our leading hitters with a .750 batting average. And he hit for power with almost half of his hits being for extra bases. Norm's play at shortstop was excellent. His arm is so strong that it made the difference on numerous plays at first base and at home plate. An opposing manager was in awe watching Norm.
